To showcase your completed projects on your artist profile, follow these steps
After completing your project, highlight your new music to promote it with fans, and increase exposure by helping listeners to discover you and your music!
When visitors view your public artist profile, they'll be able to explore and listen to your featured tracks that you've pre-released or publicly released.
You also get the opportunity to have your featured songs/catalog shown on the EngineEars.com homepage and official EngineEars socials (Instagram, X, Facebook, TikTok) in our Made on EngineEars series.
Steps to feature your songs
1. Feature a Completed Project:
-
- From your Bookings Tab, navigate to ANY completed project and click the ‘Publish this Project’ button.
NOTE: If you are unable to publish the project because of an error message: "your project needs to be completed before you can release it.", make sure you've approved final assets for the project first. Once all assets for the songs in the project have been approved, try to release the completed project again.
2. Add Project Details:
-
- In the Project Details modal, fill out the relevant information about your release!
- Mark your release as Public (ON) if you want to display it publicly on your profile. Or keep your release as Private (OFF), if you want to keep it hidden from view.
- In addition to marking your release as public (ON), you have the option to make it Featured (ON) so that it is highlighted at the top of your profile page, displaying prominently for the public to view it.
- Don't forget to add cover art for your single or album! (NOTE: if you don't add cover art, your publicly featured songs won't be displayed on Made on EngineEars)
- When you’re done, click ‘Save’ to finalize.
3. Set Release Privacy:
-
- If your release is marked as Private, it will not be visible to visitors of your Artist profile page. You can use this to hide your release from public view until you're ready to make it public and share with the world.
- Note: make sure the Featured setting is disabled (OFF) for this private release to hide it completely from public view.
- If your release is marked as Private, it will not be visible to visitors of your Artist profile page. You can use this to hide your release from public view until you're ready to make it public and share with the world.
-
- If your release is marked Public, it will be visible to anyone who visits your Artist profile page. Use this if you're ready to display the release publicly on your profile page. At any time, you can change your release to private to hide it from public view.
TIP: Your featured songs/catalog must be marked 'Public' for them to be shown on the EngineEars.com homepage and EngineEars socials (Instagram, X, Facebook, TikTok) in our Made on EngineEars series.
4. Edit Release Details (Optional):
-
- To update the details of a release, return to your completed project, click the 3-dot menu, and select ‘Edit Release’. This will reopen the Project Details modal, allowing you to modify your release information.
5. View Your Release on Your Profile:
-
- Go to your profile page. If your release is set to Public, it will appear on your profile page.
-
- If your release is marked as Featured, it will be highlighted at the top of your profile page, displaying prominently for the public to view. It will also be shown in the Catalog section below. You can feature one release at a time at the top of your profile page.
- Any additional public releases will appear underneath in the Catalog section, where you can display as many additional releases as you would like.
- To switch the release that you feature on top of your profile, edit the details of a featured release and turn OFF the "Featured" setting, than goto the release details of another release and turn ON the "Featured" setting.
6. Share Your Release:
-
- To promote your music, click the ‘Share Release’ button to copy the URL link to your profile page. You can then post this link on social media, allowing visitors to view and listen to your featured and cataloged tracks directly on your profile.
-
- When visitors access your profile, they’ll be able to view and listen to your featured release and additional public releases displayed on your profile page.
Note: The ability for artists to directly sell their music on their profile page is currently in private beta. It is not generally available for all artist profile pages yet.
